Chapter 599: The Recovery Period
-Xavier, don't go in there yet.
The types of patients Leila encounters are so numerous that a thousand and one accidents can happen.
She was reluctant to let her brother try to take care of little Daniel, who had just woken up and had to be given time to digest the horrors he had been through.
-It's all right," Xavier smiled weakly, still willing to go straight into the room. How aggressive such a little boy could be.
And since little Daniel's life was his, he couldn't back down no matter what.
-You have to give him at least some time to get used to it.... -The man walked straight in before Leila could finish the sentence.
Alone, Xavier carefully made his way to Daniel's bed. He looked at the little boy in front of him, mentally organizing his words and thinking what to say to Daniel.
-How long have you been in there alone? Was it boring?
Xavier was worried that Daniel wasn't breathing well in there, so, concerned, he asked little Daniel about it.
Daniel remained in the same state, not moving at all.
-Right now he should be afraid to talk to strangers, he won't fit in if you talk to him like that -Leila couldn't help but notice at her brother's side when she saw that he was a bit anxious. After all, little Daniel was alone and spent a lot of time inside the morgue. So in the mind, it was more or less a shock. This just woke up and he may not have fully recovered from the fear.
-He's going to be okay," Xavier couldn't help but mutter under his breath as he looked down at the little guy curled up on the bed. Whatever happened, his heart felt that no harm could come to the little one. Hearing Xavier say this, the little Daniel in the bed moved a little unconsciously. The whole comforter moved twice in response to his squirming.
-Let me try.
Leila approached the bed and unconsciously moved closer to it. She stroked little Daniel's sheets with her hand and could see, through the outer contour, that the little boy was sprawled all over her back. Leila stroked and comforted the little boy as she did so.
-You don't have to be afraid, Auntie and Uncle can definitely help you out of the shadows. Everything that happened before, little Daniel can treat it as just a dream. No matter what happens next, you won't be allowed to go back to a place like that.
-You've been talking about this for half a day and he hasn't reacted - Xavier felt a little disappointed to see his sister's approach.
The next moment, Daniel pulled the blankets off him and looked at Leila in front of him without moving.
She doesn't speak or cry.
But such a reaction is already very good in Xavier's opinion.
-Little Daniel, are you okay?
Looking at the little boy on the bed, Xavier couldn't help but ask, Mariana only knew that Xavier had found her son, but not that he had suffered so much.
If Mariana knew, she would be very worried.
-What are you? How come I haven't seen you before.
Little Daniel looked at Leila in front of him and took the initiative to speak.
Leila sees that little Daniel is willing to talk to himself, which shows that the problem is not as serious as she thought. She also has a more effective plan for little Daniel's further treatment.
-It was this guy who brought you
here, and then I helped you with some related treatment, and then little Dantel woke up safe and sound ah -Leita looked at the little boy in the hospital bed with infinite
patience in her heart.
Hearing Leila say that, young Daniel's eyes rested on Xavier's.
Then he said nothing and looked at the man in front of him without moving a muscle. It was as if he was making an exact memory of the man who had saved his life.
-Do you remember what I told you when I pulled you out of there? -Xavier looked at little Daniel expectantly.
Little Daniel thought for a moment and then shook his head.
-I don't remember, I don't remember anything. I only remember that someone tried to kill me and left me alone in a cold, cold place and it was like I almost died.... Little Daniel was sitting on the hospital bed with his mouth open.
-Don't be afraid, as long as you have uncle here, uncle won't let anyone hurt you -Xavier went about soothing the other man's emotions.
Little Daniel shook his head and went back under the sheets alone.
-This... -said Xavier, watching the little boy's behavior with a moment of incomprehension and more than a little concern for him.
Not knowing if Daniel's condition was good or bad, another point that surprised him a little was that young Daniel didn't even ask where Mariana was going.
-Get out first, she needs to rest. She just woke up and you shouldn't ask her too many questions. The next thing to do is to rest -Leila saw her brother, who still wanted to ask little Daniel more questions, and hurried to push him out.
Now is not the best time to talk and ask questions. Besides, the little one has already woken up and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, so there is no hurry. -Didn't you notice one very important thing? When he woke up, he did not ask where his mother was - Xavier looked at Leila in front of him and expressed the doubts he had in his mind. This reaction is indeed somewhat frightening.
-He has almost walked through a ghost's door, and surely what he fears most now is death, so he probably won't even think about Mariana.
Leila didn't think it was bad that little Daniel didn't ask Mariana.
Xavier's face changed immediately when he heard the woman say that.
-What do you mean by that?
-That can also happen. It was you who found him, not his mother," Leila reminded Xavier out of the corner of her eye.
Hearing Leila's words, Xavier's heart suddenly felt a little disbelief. Be that as it may, Mariana was also Daniel's mother. After what had happened, how could he forget about Mariana?
-Don't go thinking about what's there
now. Surprisingly, you saved the man, so you are responsible for
taking care of him. Now go prepare some food, his body needs energy -Leila looked at her brother and felt that Xavier was more than just a bit of wood.
